PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE MODDING BMS
-
Please read this before starting to mod existing BMS stuff, especially art data which you plan to offer to the public.
Q: Can I modify any BMS component freely and distribute my work?
A: Each part of the BMS community add-on is the intellectual property of its creator. Therefore, you should not modify and distribute something derivative without asking the original creator if that would be OK. Some may give you this authorization, others may not, and others may ask that you work collaboratively on improvements to the baseline. This applies to all the elements contained in BMS release materials; including but not limited to 3D models, sounds, campaigns, data and configuration files, documentation, etc.
Q: What if I make a mod but I would like to charge money for it?
A: BMS has no interest in dictating what you do or don’t do in respect of making add-ons for the release materials. If you want to make an add-on and charge for it, that’s up to you and your audience to decide. However, if you want to know what we think of that approach, please know that we think it’s a bad idea and we don’t plan to help you if you go that route. The BMS community add-on is available to you for FREE and we’re sharing the fruits of our labor as a way to give back to a community that has given a lot to us over time. We would hope everyone can and will see the betterment of the game we all enjoy playing in the same way.

Further to the above guidelines:
If you import mods from other software, open source or not, payware or freeware,
And wish to advertise or share your work in this forum, we expect the following:Proper credits should be stated in the FIRST post, perferably in the topic TITLE
Credits mean- name of the original product,
- name or company details of the author
- web link
That will avoid unnecessary questions being raised later on as the source of the original work.
We feel it is much better for this to be addressed at earlier stages, WIP or not, rather than in a 15 thread topic pageThank you for respecting this.
Mods will openly question any mods than do not follow those guidelinesAdded by Dee-Jay:

It’s a deleted thread, privileged users such as Mods and above can see it. Recommend we update the sticky to reflect that change.

Yes. Modifying data is on your own responsibility, but you can modify what you want and release it as a mod, if you like, no problems with that.
Now, regarding this specific case, I’d suggest to contact someone within BMS and suggest your improvements and the reasons behind them, if it makes sense, we may consider to include the changes in BMS itself.
